Based on The New York Times best seller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel, "The Son" is a sweeping family saga that spans 150 years and three generations of the McCullough family. The ten-episode, one-hour drama traces the transformation of Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) from good-natured innocent to calculating killer. He loses everything on the wild frontier, setting him on the path to building a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege. The series deftly explores how Eli’s ruthlessness and quest for power triggers consequences that span generations, as the McCulloughs rise to become one the most powerful family dynasties in Texas.
